Even much more expensive cables from brands such as Boss, Roland, Ernie Ball, and Planet Waves come attached to a simple sheet of cardboard. God forbid you order a light-colored cable! Chances of it arriving perfectly clean are almost zero. But not with these. Surprisingly, this modestly-priced cable came in a box! It was clean and beautifully presented in a robust cardboard box with a display window! The cable itself is meticulously crafted and gives off an impression of quality. Considering the price, I was mentally prepared for the black parts of the plugs to be made out of plastic. Surprisingly, they are made out of metal — the entire plug assembly is metal! This is, without doubt, one of the nicest cables I have ever purchased!
